Happy to be home
While I love to travel it is nice to be home again.
I wonder if that is what this guy was feeling?
I don’t think it is possible to put human feeling on animals actions but this Orca we photographed in Alaska seem to be expressing joy or happiness when he breached 3 times in a row. On the other hand maybe he was just trying to shake off a few barnacles

After a week of hard work on these Alaska grizzlies the only image we felt we had missed was mom and the cubs on the beach. With 2 hours before we needed to pack for our flight home we made one last early morning run.
As you can see the bears sent us off with a fond farewell wave..
In August I will be back with another group to see how the cubs have fared.

This is the smaller of the two we have been concentrating on. Some times it seems to be getting picked on buy the bigger sibling but this one can hold it own. In this moment is seems to want a little attention form mom. It must have worked because the mom nursed them right after this shot.

We had an interesting presentation by the Park Service after dinner. They allow us an insight into the way the NPS makes policy for things such as bear viewing and photography. Afterward we went out to find our favorite quarry.
These Cubs of the Year ( COY) continued to perform and dance for us. The light was fading a 11 PM when we made these shots but it was still nice to watch the youngsters learn and play
